NextUp: Alejandro Castaño Afro-Cuban Quintet

The Alejandro Castaño Afro-Cuban Quartet draws directly from the vibrant traditions of Cuban music, presenting a rich tapestry of rhythm, melody, and improvisation. Led by Castaño’s expert percussion work, the quartet’s intricate interplay and complex polyrhythms capture the true essence of Afro-Cuban jazz. With passion, precision, and deep cultural resonance, this ensemble creates an immersive musical experience that brings the spirit of Afro-Latin soundscapes to life.

The NextUp Series at Gift of Jazz features young artists contributing to the living tradition of Jazz with original arrangements and compositions.

This program is supported in part by the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) so that we may invite many of you to come to hear new artists and be moved by the art in our community.
